SECTION I - MRE HISTORY http://members.aol.com/OiledLamp/mrefaq.html (1 of 11) [4/10/2002 1:10:39 PM] MealsReadytoEat FAQ MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) were born on Earth, but grew up on Apollo flights to the moon, in Skylab floating workshops and on every U.S. Space Shuttle flight from Enterprise to Atlantis. In the 1970s retort pouches (the popular name for thermostabilized, laminated food pouches named after the retort cooker ) were put to their first real test by the U.S. Space Program. The Program was looking for delicious, easy to prepare, "normal" food that wouldn't increase human stress the way that freeze dried food and "toothpaste tube food" did. More than any other technology, retort pouches have satisfied the Program's needs. And so, over 20 years ago, retort pouches found a home at NASA, where all their unusual characteristics were much appreciated and they have been successfully feeding astronauts in flight and on the moon ever since. THE HISTORY OF THE MRE In the 1980s the U.S. military research labs, which had hatched the pouch technology in the first place, took the lead in its use and development. They enabled the U.S. Military to upgrade its entire field ration program to retort pouches, from the earlier, less workable technologies of canning and freeze drying. Over the past 10 years these high tech research labs have continually upgraded the taste and nutritional profile of the meals. Over the past 10 years our military has depended on MREs for its field ration requirements. Tens of millions of MRE "full meals" have been produced and eaten. They have gone to Grenada, to the war on drugs, to fight forest fires in Alaska, and to feed the troops in "Desert Shield" and Desert Storm. SECTION II - MRE CONTENTS/COMPONENTS There are 13 basic menus in the typical case of MREs. These menus are: Menu #l Menu #2 Pork with rice in barbecue sauce Corned beef hash Applesauce Freeze-dehydrated fruit 1/ Jelly Jelly Crackers Crackers Cocoa beverage powder Oatmeal cookie bar http://members.aol.com/OiledLamp/mrefaq.html (2 of 11) [4/10/2002 1:10:39 PM] MealsReadytoEat FAQ Sugar-free beverage base Cocoa beverage powder Hot Sauce Sugar-free beverage base Accessory packet, B Hot sauce Spoon Accessory packet, B Flameless heater Spoon Flameless heater Menu #3 Menu #4 Chicken stew Omelet with ham Wet pack fruit 2/ Potatoes au gratin Peanut Butter Jelly Crackers Crackers Candy 3/ Candy 3/ Beverage base, powdered Oatmeal cookie bar Hot Sauce Cocoa beverage powder Accessory packet, A Sugar-free beverage base Spoon Hot Sauce Flameless heater Accessory packet, A Spoon Flameless heater Menu #5 Menu #6 Spaghetti with meat and sauce Frankfurters, beef Pound cake 4/ Potato-sticks Cheese spread Freeze-dehydrated fruit 1/ http://members.aol.com/OiledLamp/mrefaq.html (3 of 11) [4/10/2002 1:10:39 PM] MealsReadytoEat FAQ Crackers Peanut butter Candy 3/ Crackers Cocoa beverage powder Candy 3/ Sugar-free beverage base Cocoa beverage powder Hot sauce Sugar-free beverage base Accessory packet, A Hot sauce Spoon Accessory packet, A Flameless beater Spoon Flameless heater Menu #7 Menu #8 Beef stew Ham slice Pound cake 4/ Potatoes au gratin Peanut butter Brownie, chocolate covered Crackers Cheese spread Beverage base, powdered Crackers Hot sauce Cocoa beverage powder Accessory packet, A Beverage base, powdered Spoon Hot sauce Flameless heater Accessory packet, A Spoon Flameless heater Menu #9 Menu #10 Pork chow mein Tuna with noodles http://members.aol.com/OiledLamp/mrefaq.html (4 of 11) [4/10/2002 1:10:39 PM] MealsReadytoEat FAQ Chow mein noodles Pound cake 4/ Freeze-dehydrated fruit 1/ Jelly Peanut butter Crackers Crackers Candy 3/ Cookie, chocolate covered Beverage base, powdered Beverage base, powdered Hot Sauce Hot Sauce Accessory packet, A Accessory packet, A Spoon Spoon Flameless heater Flameless heater Menu #11 Menu #12 Chicken and rice Escalloped potatoes with ham Cheese spread Applesauce Crackers Brownie, chocolate covered Candy 3/ Cheese spread Cookie, chocolate covered Crackers Beverage base, powdered Cocoa beverage powder Hot Sauce Sugar-free beverage base Accessory packet, A Hot Sauce Spoon Accessory packet, A Flameless heater Spoon Menu #13 http://members.aol.com/OiledLamp/mrefaq.html (5 of 11) [4/10/2002 1:10:39 PM] MealsReadytoEat FAQ Red beans and rice crackers Brownie Coffee Jello Accessory packet, Fork Spoon Salt Pepper Flameless heater spoon Flameless heater 1/ At least three of the four different kinds of freeze-dehydrated fruit (fruit mLx, peaches, pears, strawberries) shall be distributed in each shipping container. 2/ Type III, IV, or V of MIL-F-44067. 3/ Each shipping container shall have six menus with candy packed directly into the menu bag, outside of the accessary packet. The candy shall be procured so that three of the six menus contain packages of chocolate disks, two of the six menus contain heat stable chocolate bars, and one of the menus contains a package of fruit tablets. 4/ Types VII, VIII, IX, X, and XI shall be procured in equal quantities and distributed in as uniform a distribution as possible in each shipping container. However, not more than two meal bags in any shipping container shall contain the same type of cake. SECTION III - POUCH AND HEATER CONSTRUCTION The big breakthrough was the pouch. Its three special layers allow the food to be sealed and then cooked (opposite from other food http://members.aol.com/OiledLamp/mrefaq.html (6 of 11) [4/10/2002 1:10:39 PM] MealsReadytoEat FAQ processing methods) and never exposed to the air again until opened. Thus, the food is actually sterilized in the pouch and then blocked from future contamination. The result is the almost unbelievable shelf life and food which retains its natural moisture and juice (i.e. it is not freeze dried or dehydrated). Here Is the breakdown of the breakthrough pouch: OUTERLAYER: A tough polyester film which provides protection for the middle layer and Is an excellent printing surface. MIDDLE LAYER: The key to the pouch's shelf stability, aluminum foil, the most effective and economical barrier to moisture, light and oxygen. The result: No refrigeration or freezing will ever be required. INNER LAYER: Next to the food product is a very special polypropylene film. It Is compatible with the widest variety of foods so that no "canned" or other unwanted taste is added to the food. It also ensures an exceptionally strong heat seal. There are water activated heaters designed to warm up MREs prior to consumption. Here's a little on their composition and functionality. From MIL-R-44398 (Flameless Ration Heater) : 3.3 DESIGN OF HEATER PAD. The heater pad shall consist of a supercorroding Mg-Fe alloy powder and an electrolyte together with flow and wetting agents dispersed throughout a porous matrix formed from polymeric powders. The magnesium and iron function as anode and cathode, respectively. The electrolyte is activated by the addition of water which initiates a rapid corrosion of the magnesium particles within the matrix. The products of the chemical reaction are heat, magnesium hydroxide, and gaseous hydrogen. The MRE spoons are made of polystyrene. References: MIL-M-44074 (Meal, Ready To Eat, Individual, Assembly of) and L-F-560 (Fork, Knife, and Spoon, Picnic). SECTION IV - SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE/TEMPERATURE CHART MRE SHELF LIFE A main concern in the development and testing of rations for our armed forces has always been shelf life. An amazing amount of research has been done in the development of the retort pouch and the MRE to determine the exact length of time and the exact http://members.aol.com/OiledLamp/mrefaq.html (7 of 11) [4/10/2002 1:10:39 PM] MealsReadytoEat FAQ conditions under which it is safe to store the entrees and side dishes. The main thing we have to work with is the shelf life chart (shown below) compiled by the Army's Natick Research labs. This gives a very good overview and summary of all the findings gathered from all the testing of MRE products. However, it leaves many questions unanswered. Here are additional facts and observations that have been gathered about MRE shelf life: 1) The Shelf life ratings shown in the chart above were determined by taste panels, panels of "average" people, mostly office personnel at the Natick labs. Their opinions were combined to determine when a particular component or, in this case, the entire MRE ration, was no longer acceptable. 2) The Shelf life determinations were made solely on the basis of taste, as it was discovered that acceptable nutritional content and basic product safety would extend way beyond the point where taste degradation would occur.

  • Shelf-Stable Food Safety
    United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service Food Safety Information PhotoDisc Shelf-Stable Food Safety ver since man was a hunter-gatherer, he has sought ways to preserve food safely. People living in cold climates Elearned to freeze food for future use, and after electricity was invented, freezers and refrigerators kept food safe. But except for drying, packing in sugar syrup, or salting, keeping perishable food safe without refrigeration is a truly modern invention. What does “shelf stable” Foods that can be safely stored at room temperature, or “on the shelf,” mean? are called “shelf stable.” These non-perishable products include jerky, country hams, canned and bottled foods, rice, pasta, flour, sugar, spices, oils, and foods processed in aseptic or retort packages and other products that do not require refrigeration until after opening. Not all canned goods are shelf stable. Some canned food, such as some canned ham and seafood, are not safe at room temperature. These will be labeled “Keep Refrigerated.” How are foods made In order to be shelf stable, perishable food must be treated by heat and/ shelf stable? or dried to destroy foodborne microorganisms that can cause illness or spoil food. Food can be packaged in sterile, airtight containers. All foods eventually spoil if not preserved. CANNED FOODS What is the history of Napoleon is considered “the father” of canning. He offered 12,000 French canning? francs to anyone who could find a way to prevent military food supplies from spoiling. Napoleon himself presented the prize in 1795 to chef Nicholas Appert, who invented the process of packing meat and poultry in glass bottles, corking them, and submerging them in boiling water.

  • Micro-Ovenable Packages and Retortable Packages
    MICRO-OVENABLE PACKAGES AND RETORTABLE PACKAGES he advent of modern urban dynamic lifestyle has created a demand for ready-to-eat food T to be met by food product manufacturers. The urban middle and upper middle class consumers have little time to do their cooking in a conventional manner and welcome ready to eat food products. The market for domestic appliances has also witnessed tremendous growth with respect to the availability of sophisticated appliances such as the microwave-oven, which has now been accepted as a modern domestic appliance for food cooking. In view of the above developments, the market needs innovative packages, which can be micro-waved and hence can be used for the packaging of ready-to-eat food products. Micro-ovenable Popcorn Packages Microwave Packaging Microwave package is a package, which can be used for cooking or heating the product in a microwave oven. Thermal conductivity of the package can affect the heat transfer between food and oven. The package alters the heating pattern of the contained food, by releasing or tapping the water vapour inside the package, thereby cooking the product under controlled pressure and temperature. Two types of microwave packages are available. One of them allows microwaves to pass through the material, they are called microwave transparent materials. Most of the conventional packaging materials are transparent to microwave. Paper, glass and all plastic materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, nylon, polystyrene, poly vinyl chloride are all microwave transparent materials. Microwaves heat the product without interfering with these packaging materials. Their application in microwave package development depends upon their thermal stability and compatibility with the product under high temperature and pressure.

  • What Is the Best Way to Process Clear Retort Pouches Through the Value
    What is the Best Way to Process Clear Retort Pouches Through the Value Chain? Examining the Effects of Converting, Retorting and Drop Tests on Stand-up Pouches Containing SiOx-coated PET Dante Ferrari Celplast Metallized Products Ltd. Presented at the TAPPI PLACE Conference Sept. 17-21, 2006 Introduction The retort pouch market has been an area of intense development over the past few years, as consumer goods companies are looking to provide more convenient, better tasting food to the consumer. Clear retort pouches have been making in-roads into applications where the ability to microwave, visibility of the product and metal detection capabilities are all important1. In particular, oxide-coated films offer several benefits, such as no yellowing, no retort shock, full FDA approval and recyclability compared to other clear barrier films. In spite of these advantages, one reason oxide-coated clear retort pouches have not gained increased market share is due to their cost. However, recent studies2,3 have shown that a 3-ply lamination can actually provide sufficient barrier properties after pouch-making and retorting without significantly increasing costs. This study goes a step further, to examine the effects on barrier properties of creating a stand-up pouch, putting it through different retort conditions, and looking at the effect of dropping it. Experimental & Results We began by working with a commercial converter to produce a printed 3-ply solvent-based laminated structure (48 g PET / 48 g SiOx-coated CERAMIS® PET / 3 mil CPP): Polyester Ink Adhesive Oxide-coated PET Adhesive Cast Polypropylene The commercial converter also prepared stand-up pouches with a flat-bottom gusset for evaluation.
